Al-Aqsa closed for Eid al-Fitr — police forcefully disperse hundreds of Muslim worshipers outside Old City

Israeli police forcefully dispersed hundreds of Muslim worshipers who had gathered outside Jerusalem's Old City gates for Eid al-Fitr prayers — the end-of-Ramadan holiday that normally draws tens of thousands to Al-Aqsa Mosque. Al-Aqsa has been closed under wartime security conditions, forcing worshipers outside the walls. The wartime closure of Islam's third holiest site on its most important prayer day will intensify Muslim world outrage over the conflict.

IDF discloses 12–20 UAVs shot down over Iran — no fighter jets lost, IAF using cheap drones for risky missions

Israeli military officials disclosed that more than 12 but fewer than 20 IDF drones have been shot down over Iran during the war. The IAF has been deliberately using cheaper UAVs for high-risk strike missions in Iran, knowing they are likely to be shot down, to preserve manned aircraft. No Israeli fighter jets have been lost, though pilots have come under anti-aircraft fire multiple times. In at least one case, a cheaper drone 'made it back' to Israel.
